Is this from the same event?. For some reason the wings don't look as swept forward?.

Interesting. So the refueling probe on the first pictures might be real?

That probe in particulate is likely a pitot tube. But the plane might also have a refueling probe.

Just got this from a friend „New photo, they said fly again today“ … however is it legit? It looks a lot like AI-made!

As I noted, IMO it looks like a CG or AI

SOYO doesn't have any inside news, he's just good at finding the right papers and tenders etc. As far as I've read his post on this matter it's pretty much just his guess and expectations.
